Fastwrite: In Chapter 2, Spelman describes three different approaches to the repair of objects: (a) Willie’s, (b) Fred’s, and (c) Louise, Elisabeth, and Irene’s. Briefly describe these three approaches. In particular, try to explain what distinguishes each approach from the others. Make use of the vocabulary that Spelman offers in doing so.

Groups: Gather in your workshop groups. As a group, come up with one new example, drawn from either your experience or your reading, of the three kinds of object-repair that Spelman defines.

The ellipsis, or the mark of omission

Type three periods in a row to make an ellipsis. Use it to show when words have been left out of a sentence, or when a sentence trails off . . . See Cameron Hunt McNabb, “The Mysterious History of the Ellipsis, from Medieval Subpuncting to Irrational Numbers”(Slate 2016).
